2025 TEAMS WITH MOST PLAYERS ON INJURED RESERVE
Being listed on an injury report (above) is not the same as being officially designated on the injured reserve list and ruled unable to play.

NFL Injured Reserve (IR) is a list of players that have a football-related injury that identifies the player as unable to return to the roster for at least four weeks. Players on IR do not count against the 53-man active roster, allowing the team to replace them, but their salaries continue to count against the salary cap. Teams can designate a certain number of players (typically up to eight during the regular season) to be eligible to return from IR later in the season once they are healthy.

As of October 12, 2025, the team with the most players on Injured Reserve (IR), Physically Unable to Perform (PUP), or Non-Football Injury/Illness (NFI) lists in the NFL is the Detroit Lions, with 22 players.

The list below shows the teams with the most players on Injured Reserve or related lists

Cleveland Browns: 22 players
San Francisco 49ers: 19 players
Arizona Cardinals: 17 players
Detroit Lions: 17 players
Houston Texans: 16 players

Lions D backfield is decimated right now. The good news for them is that a chunk of them are due to return in 4 weeks. By Wk10 they could be in good shape.

My $ is on them or Eagles to be in the SB this year with teams like GB right on the edge.

Put a fork in the 49'ers...They lost their heart/soul on D yesterday for the season, on top of everything else.

I don't think it matters as much how many players you have on IR. Many of those players could be bottom of the roster players. I'd say it matters more who those players are and where they play. Two teams could have 4 starters out, but if one team has those 4 players spread out across 4 units, they're going to be a lot better off than the team with 4 starters out on one unit.

I like the team Tampa Bay has, tough minded and talented.

Jesus, it feels like 8 months ago the last time we saw JJM play. Need to get that kid in there and taking snaps, hopefully this Sunday.

Would you rather have him start at home against the Eagles or on the road against the Chargers? I have a feeling they'll keep him out one more week just to make sure his ankle is 100%. 

There's also the intangibles, which admittedly probably don't mean as much as people tend to think: Wentz against the team who drafted him, and McCarthy against his former coach.

I just want him to start when he's healthy enough to.....if that's another week later, I guess so be it. I'm just chomping a bit to get him in there. KOC will do the right thing in that vein I'm sure.

This is where I’m at.  He has to be able to move and deal with pressure since he doesn’t have the experience to really deal with it mentally yet, but you can always look at the injury and put things off another week until much of the season is gone.  Guys have to play injured.  Everyone is injured.  I trust KOC to know if he’s too injured to play effectively.  I don’t think you put things off just because of the Eagles.  If he can move around the pocket, scramble for a first down, etc., get him back in there.

Lol all this and they continue to talk about extended the regular season. Like I've stated, if the NFL just wants to make it about which team can survive the gauntlet if injuries and have the most healthy bodies at the end of the season...have at it because I think people will start to tune out..

Yes they will.   17 game season is bad, 18 will be even worse.   There was NOTHING wrong with the 14 game season back in the 1970s.   30 teams was perfect.  15 per conference and 5 per each of 3 divisions per conference.   No weeks off, no bye weeks for higher seeds, the four best teams in each conference going after it and the Superbowl during the first or second week of January.   The league was not diluted as it is now.   There is no way they cannot expand the rosters to offset all the injuries.   Its just too many games.   Records are meaningless now imo.   OJ went for 2003 yards in a 14 game season.   Back then a 1,000 rushing or receiving season was one heck of an accomplishment.   Now with all the rule changes and QBs protected none of the offensive achievements are what they once were.   Really makes you appreciate the players from the 60s and 70s even more.

we could blame season length, except we are only in what week 6... lets blame the lack of physical conditioning,  getting the bodies used to being beaten up and stretched back out only to do it again.   its crazy that not only are there less opportunities for guys to get those live hits in offseason practices, they arent even getting the reps they could be getting in pre-season.  I think this has more to do with the injuries than the length of the season,  hell I wouldnt be surprised to see teams healthier by year end just from a perspective of guys are getting used to the physical grind by then.

I think 18 games will be fine if they get the season started right away in early September, quit waiting until after labor day,  give teams an extra bye week,  and cut out the week between the championship games and the superbowl.
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?
